Nice BB blazer find, True_Tech! The Harris tweeds are cool too, but I feel ya on the sleeves thing. I find so many of those bad boys at my local thrift shops, and I swear the area surely must have been overrun by T. rexes (plural?).

I've had a pretty good couple of weeks at the thrifts in my area. Here are a few of the more unique items:
Deadstock NWT Saks Fifth Avenue oxford stripe dress shirt

Orvis linen/cotton zip sweater with elbow patches (pretty certain this is NWOT)

Vintage Pendleton pearl snap western shirt (for every five Pendletons I find, four are riddled with moth holes - this one is mint)

Finally had a good find at my local savers. Vintage Louis Vuittons monogram tie. Navy with navy monogram Daimler. Not very noticeable you have to look close from far looks like a little texture. Awesome look.
Been lucky with ties lately. Louis Vuittons, Hermes, Burberry and Givenchy.Last edited by Brent k; February 12, 2014, 09:37 PM.

I thrift, but not so much these days now that I have a 10 mo baby. I don't have much luck finding anything worthwhile. I've purchased a couple of NWT ties, one a Burberry and the other a Hugo Boss, but not much else. The problem I have is that my local thriftstore has this annoying habit of using the tagging gun on the front of the ties, that is, they pierce the fabric and render the tie useless. I don't know why they don't tag the loop in the back. Either way, when it comes to thrifting second hand clothing/accessories I draw the line at socks, underwear and shoes. Basically anything that has touched someone's stinky parts. I find used shoes fairly disgusting and to this day can't figure out why anyone would want to put their feet in someone else's used shoes. blech

Just e-copped these. How do these stand against all other denim brands?
